The Athletic’s Matt Barrows believes Demarcus Robinson will be the primary beneficiary of De’Zhaun Stribling’s injury.
He expects Deebo Samuel’s snap count to rise as well, but says “perhaps Robinson’s will rise more.” Barrows also notes that Robinson seems to have a good rapport with Brock Purdy, and that Robinson’s late-game stretch with a Purdy that was “back and feeling like himself late in the season” was likely no coincidence. Robinson is definitely a FLEX possibility this week in deeper leagues or if you’ve missed your desired boat on the waiver wire.
